Description - Genes on the Couch by Paul Gilbert

Philosophers and therapists have long theorised about how psychological mechanisms for love, jealousy, anxiety, depression and many other human characteristics may have evolved over millions of years. The contributors to this timely book illuminate how an evolution focused approach to psychopathology can offer new insights for different schools of therapy and provide a rationale for therapeutic integration. Respected clinicians cover a variety of topics, including: The nature of evolved mental mechanisms Regulation/deregulation of internal processes Gender differences in therapy and the roles of shame and guile in treatment. Genes on the Couch will be of interest to psychotherapoists, psychiatrists and a wide range of mental health professionals.
